Greenhouse gas emissions embodied in the U.S. solar photovoltaic
Solar PV systems have a global supply chain, with China dominating due to low production costs for silicon and PV products and relevant raw materials (Woodhouse et al 2019, Smith et al 2021) inese production shares in global production of crystalline silicon, silicon wafers, solar cells, and solar panels increased from 42%, 77%, 60%, and 66% in 2010 to 76%,
